A GREAT EXTERMlNATOR.
Such Is Progress" Says Professor Radford
in His Lecture on That Subject.

Prof. B. ]. Radford lectured to two hundred
night, on Progress" He spoke OF his subject
as one which every American school boy thought
he know all about Everybody believes in prog
rees, yet it is the cruelest extermnator Of the
world We have made progress in America at the
cost of the determination of race Of people. This
is not one page Of history, but one thousand.
There is nothing that can stop progress. Old
fogies may cry at it, but it rolls right over them
Then they begin to cry that things are impossi-
BILE, and the next thing you hear they have been
accomplished. Progress will go on until there
Is perfection. There must be great DEVELOPMENT
yet before Gods wisdom is indicated. Progress
is slow growth. True progress doesn'. 60 by
fits and starts It is not found in the fierce whrl-
wind Of reforms and revolutions. The satisfac-
lion with work done is the great impetus to
progress, and the true inspiration
What is tho end of progressl First, TO attain
perfection la material things, and secondly to
attain perfection in moral sense The former
is the means the latter the end. The real test
TO material progress is. how much mastery is
. man gaining of his dominion. When Paul
stood on Mars hill no one dreamed that man
was more than slave. Now we are becoming
master, and herein is our progress. When man
shall come into possession he will contest gil the
forces of nature. Moral progress is the better
ment Of man himself. The thing to be devel-
Dped In man is character. Character is reserved
power that holds the reserve of future action in
balance. Men to-day have much action. but not
enough character. We are. neither religious nor
moral, but intellectual.

SUBSCRIPTIONS TO BASEBALL STOCK.
The base ball association soliciting committee
yesterday secured subscriptions to the capital
stock of the project amounting to $l,O75 in
creasing the total to $8,075. The amount needed
is $40, 900, and a determined effort will be made
by the committee to raise the remaining 81, 900
before the meeting at the Bates House this even
ing. AS there are several persons who have
promised to take stock that have not yet been
called upon, the committee is confident that it
will get the amount desired. If it is successful,
delegates will be selected this evening to repre-
sent the association at the meeting of the
National League arbitration committee in Pitts
burg, next week, for the purpose of deciding
where the eighth club shall be located.
NEEDED REFORM IN POLICE MANAGEMENT
There is more lawlessness in Indianapolis now
than there has been at any time before since
the creation of the Metropolitan police system.
Since the appointment of Pendleton and Holt as
commissioners by the Democratic State officers
on the LIST of January, there has been compar-
atively little restraint upon any class of law
breakers. Gamblers have been allowed to re-
sumo operations, and saioonkeepers persistently
violate the IL o'clock and Sunday laws without
any interference from the police. There has,
besides, been more thievng than usual. In con-
sequence of this apparent need of reform in tho
management of the police force, the State Off
GERS will probably meet within the next four or
five days and appoint new commissioners, who
will be expected to make an earnest endeavor TO
enforce all laws. A number of persons are be-
ing urged for appointment. among the Repub-
licans most promently mentioned being r. O.
Hawkins, Col. Nick Ruckle, j. L. Bieler, John
B. Elan, General Coburn and Horace Mckay,
while William Henderson is suggested for ap-
pointment the Democratic representative on
the board. The State officers give the assurance
that the change will he made some time next
week.

HUNTING ANTS EGGS.
A Simple Method by Which They Are
Rapidly Sorted When tcurd.

One of the strangest of sports, or rather of
industries-since to few men employed in
the forests of France it supplies part of
their means of livehhood-is the gathering
of ants eggs. The larvae of those insects,
which are often as large as the ants them
selves, says the Youths Companion, are
used in geological gardens and elsewhere as
food for tropical birds reared in captivity
LIE Moniteur de la Chase, hunting
Journal, gives q picturesque account of a
hunt for ants eggs from which we make a
translation of some extracts.
"At sunrise we set out into the woods, &C
companied by the old st-guard Denis,
and his son Juan. The latter carried big
bag and shovel. We had tied strings
around the bottoms of our trousers and
around our coat sleeves at the wrists as a
precaution against the sort Of game we were
after Before long we came upon one of the
little hillocks of twigs which form the ants
houses.
Jean held his bag open by the ant-hill,
and.Denis simply gave two or three strokes
with his shovel, thrusting ants, twigs and
eggs all pell-mell into the bag. The sack
was quickly tied up, and another ant hill
sought and despoiled, and this was repeated
until the bag was full
land now comes what is more interest
ing said old Denis, the sorting of the eggs
l have an extensive establishment where
this is carried on permanently The old
man smiled as he spoke.
''We proceeded to "a level clearing in the
woods, open 20 the sun, in the middle Of
which there was a ring made Of empty
fiowerpots laid ON their sides the mouths
Of the pots turned toward the centre.
Jean laid down his bag, with its thous-
ands of squirming prisoners, while he COW
cred the ring of flower pots over with the
green branches 0f trees in such a way as to
shade them completely, but not the middle
of the circle Then into this sunny space in
the centre he opened his bag and emptied
its contents.
INSTANTLY, Us il by inspiration, the
wrfthing mass Of ants began carrying their
eggs into the shaded pots They knew that
il left many minutes exposed to the sun
their delicate young ones would certainly
die. and they deposited the larvae in the
pots as last as they could carry them.
before long some of the pots were half
filed with nothing but eggs, and these pots
Denis emptied, one at a time, into a smaller
bag.
@While the ants continued to work Mt the
rescue of their eggs from the broiling sun,
Jean returned TO the woods, and came back
at length with still another bag full of his
strangely mixed material, which he poured
into the writing arena. Denis, i'll the
meantime, continued steadily at work
employing the flower pots white with larvae

RAILROAD BRIDGE BURNED
The East Going Cyclone Express
Train Barely Saved.

What might have been terrible ac-
cident was averted by train 2O2 being
warned that the Burned Tank bridge was
on fire. A man was on his way from
Ogallah to take the train at Ellis, and
found when he arrived at the bridge,
at A. NJ, that it was on fire. He at once
went up the track, met the train, and
notified it of the danger. An engine and
car were at once dispatched from this
place and brought the passengers to
Ellis. The company put large force OF
men at work, and by o'clock the bridge
was sufficiently repaired to admit OF the
train crossing. This bridge is at the
foot of the Ogallah hills, and the train
usually comes around the curve and onto
the bridge at about forty miles per hour.
-[Elis Headlight, Tuesday.
The prevention Of the wrecking OF that
train, and the loss of life which must have
followed, was almost miraculous. This
statement seems all the stronger when it
is known that the man who managed
to halt the rushing train is a resident of
Kansas City = a Swedish minister who
was going from Trego county to Ellis
station to take that same train. The
train was not stopped until the engine
had run upon the west end of the bridge.
The fire is said to have been started by a
freight train which had crossed the
bridge some hours before. Sparks had
lodged in some rotten bridge timber.

ARBOR DAY.
How Many Trego County People
Will Observe It?

To the Editor of the Western Kansas World:
The governor has appointed April IA
as Arbor Day. How are the people of
Trego county going to celebrate it? I
can speak for myself. Every year since
Arbor Day has become an institution of
Kansas, I have celebrated it by planting
some memorial trees, and having each
member of my family do the same; and
now we have scores of such trees growing
around our home Our children seem to
take as much interest in the planting as
we do, and have great pride in their
trees. Heretofore, we have spent only a
portion of the day in the work. But this
year we will spend the whole day, and
shall plant about twenty varieties. Du-
ring leisure times from now till Arbor
Day we will dig the holes, so as to be all
ready. Every tree that we planted last
year on Arbor Day lived, and has done
well. / shall not confne myself to what
is planted that day, but shall plant 400 or
800 besides, both for fruit and shade.
With proper care in planting, trees can
be made to grow here. Those of us who
have proved up on our timber claims
have demonstrated that fact. So, don't
let any one hesitate in planting freely
this spring. Now that the state of Kan
sas has established experimental forestry
stations for our benefit, it behooves us to
see to it that we do our part in
growing forest, fruit and shade trees. If
every land owner in Trego county would
plant-say five trees-and have each one
of his family do the same on Arbor Day,
as memorial trees, and then take care of
them until they become self-sustaining,
it would result in not less than 10000
trees being planted that day. How many
will do as I propose to do? Celebrate
the day properly, and have the trees to
show for it in the future.
Yours truly,
BEN G. RICH.
